Designer Dogs 101: Top 10 Bichon Frise Hybrid Breeds – Animal Facts
Welcome to Animal Facts.
Time for another Top 10 list.
Today we’re going to look at hybrid breeds
or designer dogs that stem from the beloved
Bichon Frise.
Stick around for some fluffy cuteness.
Let’s get started.
But, before we start, take a moment to like
and subscribe for more fun, fauna facts.
10.
ShiChon
Described as Friendly, Bold, Intelligent,
and Independent this Bichon Shih Tzu hybrid
loves to play, is easy to train and makes
an excellent family pet.
Like all the dogs on this list, the Shichon
can be hypoallergenic, but no dog is guaranteed
to be so.
If you have allergies and are planning on
getting a dog based on hypoallergenic claims,
we suggest spending time with the breed before
deciding on adding one to your family.
We publish every Monday and Friday.

a single fact.
9.
ChiChon
Not to be confused with the Shichon, the ChiChon
is a Bichon mixed with a Chihuahua.
This designer dog can be loving, energetic,
sweet natured and easy to train.
He can be quite intelligent, but many would
also describe the Chichon as being a bit on
the needy side.
But, we’ll just call that affectionate.
Be warned that he may be a frequent barker.
8.
Chonzer
One can’t be part Miniature Schnauzer and
not be adorable.
The Chonzer is no exception.
Affectionate, devoted, loving, and intelligent,
the Chonzer can be protective and makes a
great family companion.
7.
Papichon
The Papichon, a Bichon Papillion hybrid, is
known to listen to commands and obey his owner.
He’s a moderate maintenance dog and is said
to be a great pet for new dog owners.
He is a bit high energy though, so if you’re
on the lookout for an activity partner and
are home on a regular basis, look no further.
6.
Glechon
Slightly larger than the other dogs on this
list is the Glechon, a Beagle Bichon Designer
Dog.
He’s a medium-sized dog weighing up to 35
pounds.
He’s gentle, friendly, easy-going and intelligent.
He also makes a good watchdog.
If you have smaller children or would just
like a somewhat larger hybrid, the Glechon
is a good choice.
5.
Havachon
These next two dogs are probably as close
to being purebreds as any on this list.
The Havachon is the mix of a Havanese and
a Bichon Frise.
If you’ve watched our Havanese video (linked
in the card) you know that the Havanese is
a Bichon breed that hails from Cuba.
What do you get when you mix these two Bichon
breeds.
You get a small dog (weighing between 8 and
12 pounds)with a solid temperament.
He’s devoted, smart, gentle, happy, energetic
and a bit of an explorer.
He has been described as a bit stubborn though
and pretty high energy, so he’s going to
need a bit of exercise to keep his energy
levels in check.
4.
Maltichon
There’s not a lot to say about the Maltichon
that hasn’t been said about the Havachon.
The Maltichon is the cross between a Maltese
and a Bichon Frise.
Like the Havanese, the Maltese is considered
a Bichon breed.
The Maltichon’s activity level is a bit
lower than the Havachon making him an excellent
apartment dweller.
Like all the dogs on this list expect a lifespan
of 12-15 years.
3.
Yo-Chon
OK… the Yochon is just adorable.
There’s just no other word that more precisely
describes this hybrid.
With Yorkshire Terrier and Bichon Frise parents,
the Yo-Chon is a happy, energetic, social,
curious dog that’s easy to train and makes
a delightful addition to a family that prefers
small dogs.
He’s slightly active, but for a dog his
size a romp in your living room a few times
a day should suffice.
2.
Peek-A-Chon
Peek-A-Chon… no, he’s not some Bichon-like
Pokemon, he’s the cross of a purebred Bichon
Frise and a Pekingese.
He is a small, friendly dog who makes a great
family pet.
This is a sweet, loving dog who will make
a great addition to any home.
He likes to play but he doesn’t require
a lot of exercises.
And who can resist his cute little black button
nose?
1.
Cavachon
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the
Bichon Frise combine to create the Cavachon.
The result is a sweet-tempered, fuzzy ball
of fluff that can make a lovely companion
for the right person.
The Cavachon is a small dog, which makes him
a nice choice for people who live in a small
apartment.
If you’re looking for an aggressive guard
dog, this designer combination is probably
not the right choice for you.
He is quite the opposite.
He is gentle, accepting and tolerant (for
the most part).
This makes him a good pet option for families
with children, as well as for households where
there are other pets.
The Cavachon is generally energetic, but not
hyperactive.
Moderate daily exercise is usually enough
to help him burn off some of his excess energy.
A daily walk and a game of fetch or some other
activity will provide some mental stimulation
as well.
Well, this list was certainly not all inclusive
of the entire lineup of Bichon Frise hybrids.
We’ve missed the Poochon, La-Chon, Kashon
and Daisy Dog to name just a few more of the
popular designer breeds based on the Bichon
Fise.
Perhaps we’ll get to them in a future video,
or perhaps by the time you watch this video
we already have.
So, take a look around, see if there is anything
else that strikes your fancy.
